US Supreme Court upholds right to bear arms!

The US Supreme Court ruled 5-4 against the District of Columbia’s 32-year-old ban on handgunds. More from Fox News…

“The decision went further than even the Bush administration wanted, but probably leaves most firearms laws intact…Writing for the majority, Justice Antonin Scalia said that an individual right to bear arms is supported by “the historical narrative” both before and after the Second Amendment was adopted.The Constitution does not permit “the absolute prohibition of handguns held and used for self-defense in the home,” Scalia said. The court also struck down Washington’s requirement that firearms be equipped with trigger locks.”
